Strength Exercise For Jogging

Supplementing running with strengthening exercises will not only aid in injury prevention but will make you a stronger, faster, and more efficient runner.

Runners need a different strength-training program than your standard gym rat. Instead of pushing weight away from the body with bicep curls, leg extensions, and bench presses, runners should focus on targeting the key muscles that will keep them balanced.

We have designed essential strength exercises for runners. Worried about fitting this routine into your training schedule? Don’t worry, these exercises take less than 20 minutes to complete and can be done twice a week. Try adding them to your easy or cross-training days.
